I note iNaturalist seems to call this species by the apparent synonym Sciota melanostyla'' although the Australian Faunal Directory does not recognise this name.

The markings visible in this sighting are not as distinctive (triangular 'zig zag'line mid forewing) as in other examples of the species but vestigial traces seem to be present.
